There are some things Barron Trump can’t avoid.
And despite his best efforts, Barron can’t get away from speculation about his life and opinions.
Even when he does make an appearance, he usually looks as though he wishes he were somewhere else.
If Donald becomes the 47th POTUS, the gossip, memes, and tweets about Barron will only intensify.
Let’s take a look back.
But as often happens on election nights, it took hours for the votes to be counted and finalized.
“No dream is too big, and no challenge is too great,” he declared.
Well, one challenge almost proved too great.
Yet he still nearly nodded off right there on the spot.
Dozens of online viewers expressed their sympathy.
“Don’t worry Barron; most of us were tired as well,” was a typical response.
One remarked, “I wonder if he’ll start looking like his father when he grows old.”
For Barron William Trump, perhaps not so much.
Was he overwhelmed by all the pomp and circumstance?
Upset over having to move away from the Manhattan home he’d known since birth?
Or just anxious to get out of the cold after standing outside at the Capitol for so long?
Whatever the reason, the newly minted youngest first son barely cracked a smile during the entire ceremony.
After the swearing-in formalities, the president and his family took the traditional walk toward the White House.
Even Barron gamely waved to the crowd.
The moment didn’t go unnoticed.
But one alleged fact about the teen once caused sparked chatter on social media.
One userwrote, “Barron Trump has so much potential and deserves so much better.
We can’t let him turn into his dad.
We can still save him while he’s young!”
The rumors quieted down after the Trumps left Washington.
“Barron Trump time traveler” trended, with reactions ranging from the humorous to the downright disturbing.
Another used AI to generate images of Barron in a time-traveling gaming mode.
He also apparently saved Abraham Lincoln and JFK from being assassinated, and put body doubles in their place.
Again, this is all rooted in fantasy, so take it with a boulder of salt.
Unfortunately for Melania, this meant that all eyes (and cameras) were on her.
Barron made a gesture that seemed to indicate he wasn’t interested in doing that.
Melania is known to dish out high fives; it’s her go-to gesture when greeting the public.
When she met elementary school children at Langley Air Force Base in 2018, she high-fived the kids.
High five fails aside, the mom and son do seem to get along swimmingly.
So much so thata psychologist predicted that Barron’s 18th birthday would be hard on Melania.
Baby Theodore, who was only 9 months old at the time, was very engaged in the activity.
And in one particularly hilarious moment, Barron tried to high-five his nephew.
The interaction warmed people to Barron all over the internet.
“He’s adorable,” one person began onYouTube.
“Such a sweet kid.”
Another person added, “Barron’s such a cute uncle!”
Even some people who don’t align with Donald politically seemed to make an exception for his kid.
Another defended Barron while still disavowing his father.
But what was equally notable that day was that Barron Trump was nowhere to be seen.
Much like his mother,Barron has sought out privacy throughout his entire life.
Naturally,there were a number of “Home Alone” references sprinkled throughout the comment section.
Another joked that Barron’s height was garnering too much attention and Donald didn’t want that.
Baron is stealing the lime light.
Donald can’t have his son be the light," they quipped.
Whatever the case, Barron was nowhere to be found when his mom and dad vacated 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
First, a wee bit of a backstory.
The Tartarians were, allegedly, an advanced civilization located in what is now northern and central Asia.
The theory is that they were a population of giants who were skilled architects.
As one TikTok user commented, “Maybe he’s just tall.”
“A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics,” Melaniatweeted.
“Barron Trump turns 18 today.
He’s fair game now,” Sington wrote on March 20, 2024.
On “The View,” Chelsea Clinton responded to the uproar around Sington’s tweet and defended Barron.
“I think he’s a private citizen,” she said.
Many X users seemed to agree with this sentiment.
In February 2024,Slateran an article titled, “Will Barron Trump Ever Stop Growing?
“; a month prior,The Palm Beach Postasked, “Wow!
How Tall is Barron Trump?”
There’s been a great deal of discourse about his height on X, formerly known as Twitter.
As Christine Rousselletweetedat the time, “Barron Trump is the world’s tallest 13 year old.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, manysports fans have begged Barron to become a basketball player.
On TikTok, Barron’s height has inspired a lot of content.
In August 2023, @robertdowneyweeniehutjr shared a photo of Barron towering over the person he’s posing with.
TheTikTokerasked, “what are they feeding him??”
“I just had dinner with him a week ago,” Tyson said.
“It was awesome.
Me, him, Barron, and his mother, and it was just off the hook.
Barron, he’s so smart.”
Tyson couldn’t stop talking about how brilliant Barron was.
“This kid’s on top of his game intellectually.”
While Tyson also raved about meeting Melania, it was Barron who stole the show for him that night.
Soat least for Tyson, Barron’s intelligence was more notable than his height.
People were all about Tyson’s budding friendship with Barron on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Who knew they were buddies?”
Someone else on X appreciated the praise that Barron received.
“[H]e’s going to be incredibly successful in life.”
